Recommendations from the Road

The old saying in Nepal is that you come for the mountains and come back for the people. This is referring to the Nepalese people, who have lives which would make the average westerner cry into their ipad and yet remain friendly and open.

But the travelers you meet are a cut above as well. Part of this is that people who want to climb mountains are generally far more rad than people who want to lie on beaches or drink all night. Actually, come to think of it, that is almost entirely it. It’s great fun, whether on a trek or drinking coffee in a cafe, to chat with travelers and discuss film, literature, and tunes. I was able to write down a bunch of what I was told. And here, from the travelers of Nepal to you, all of you are a bunch of cool things.
